As a paramedic, Oscar Carrisalez feared most a 911 call about his own aging parents.

He never imagined he'd get that call about his teenage son.

Carrisalez was on duty Tuesday night when a relative notified him that his child, Cedrych Carrisalez, had been in an accident.

The desperate father sifted through a list of active trauma calls on his ambulance's laptop and instantly identified the location where his son had been fatally struck — it was at Mulberry Avenue and St. Mary's Street, an area Cedrych Carrisalez often jogged in with his best friend.

Before dying, Cedrych Carrisalez never spoke, but he still was moving and appeared restless and frustrated. Emergency personnel said he had broken bones and internal bleeding in his abdomen and head.

“He didn't know he was dead,” his father said. “People don't act themselves when they're like that.”

At SAMMC, doctors revived him three times but they were unable to keep him alive.

Police said they found marijuana in Humphreys' Camry. She was arrested, charged with intoxication manslaughter and remains behind bars in lieu of posting $100,000 bail.

Humphreys was charged with driving while intoxicated in October 2009. She pleaded no contest and was given probation. She also was charged with possession of marijuana in October 2008, which she pleaded no contest to and was given deferred adjudication.

She's the fourth person to be charged with intoxication manslaughter in San Antonio this year. There were 13 such cases in 2012, police said.

Oscar Carrisalez said the family is trying not to think about Humphreys' fate in the wake of his son's death.

“She's got a problem she's got to deal with,” he said. “I just don't wish this on anyone else.”

Cedrych — better known as “Yanni,” the Greek Orthodox version of his godfather's name “Johnny” — was remembered by his older brother and sister as a prankster with a boisterous personality.

He loved to work out and was very fit, his dad said, pointing to a row of bottles of dietary supplements and health shake powders stacked on top of the family's refrigerator. He was trying to get the family in better shape, too.

Oscar Carrisalez said his son was “still a kid” who had been waiting tables to save up money for a new car. He had his whole life ahead of him, his father said.
